MHEG 1.06 is supposed to be on it's way later in the year, see more here: http://www.dtg.org.uk/dtg/dtgnews.php?class=DTG&id=671
After the upgrade I believe interactive services on the DTT platform in the UK will be as competent as the Sky services from what I've read From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Woodward Sent: 14 April 2005 08:48 To: Development of mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv] DVB patch for Freeview/Xtraview I think this is what you need: http://www.dtg.org.uk/reference/mheg_profile1_05.pdf Fully interactive support would be awesome!

As for allowing viewing of the parliment channel, while this patch allows you to see the pictures on this channel, what you are actually seeing is 2 screens of BBC News Interactive, plus the pictures from BBC Parliment. What you are supposed to be seeing on BBC Parliment is a single 1/4 size video stream, plus digital teletext based information surrounding it. To watch it properly involves coding up digital teletext support (which will give us all the interactive channel functionality as well). The digital teletext is AFAIK implemented using MHEG-5, so all that is needed now is a copy of the MHEG-5 standard and sufficient keyboard time. This is on my TODO list with a bunch of other things (like dvb radio channels). Anyone know where I can find the MHEG-5 standard freely available????
